What Happened to the Magic Bus in Alaska? - EP. 259
This episode is dedicated to 'Into the Wild' movie and book fans. I just had to see the legendary Magic Bus during my journey through Alaska. The bus is now in Fairbanks and there's a really good reason for that! Oh, and let's not forget about my traumatic experience with the tire change. Yep, this is Alaska!

In April 2017 I left Australia for a solo trip around the world on a BMW F800GS. I named it “Are We There Yet” because I don't know my final destination or the duration of this journey.
Throughout my journey, I'm raising money for a young disabled child in Poland named Franek. Franek was diagnosed with cerebral palsy (weakness of the entire right side of the body) and he will require constant rehabilitation for the rest of his life. All the money raised will go directly to helping Franek and his family lead as normal a life as possible so please donate generously: gogetfunding.com/arewethereyet/
None of that would be possible without my official sponsors:

I met Craig, the Australian at the Boreal lodge in Wiseman, Alaska. He was headed Southbound on the Dalton and I was Northbound, headed to Prudhoe bay. Had a great time chatting with him and a handful of other riders in the dining room/kitchen that evening.
I am so glad you made it to our 50th state and are enjoying. Stay safe and watch for moose!
People come to Alaska and think they can treat an adventure here like they're in the Lower 48. The bus guy was no hero. He didn't do his research, wandered off into the muskeg and eventually convinced himself that there was no way out.

Ugh, thank you. Christopher McCandless was a spoiled little rich boy and a complete idiot. He got himself killed through that idiocy and I will never, ever understand why people worship him so much. He is not heroic, or admirable, he's an embarrassment to all adventurers, hikers and sensible drifters out there.
Every day I get in the queue. To get on the bus that takes me to you. So nervous, sit & smile. Your house is only another mile.
Name of the motorcycle shop is OUTPOST ALASKA. $410 to replace tires is a crime.

A true ripoff job, how do they justify that price.

Yes they gouged her, I looked up the latest shop labor rate in Alaska $143 an hour they probably charge by the hour. There is some local upcharge if they are the only shop around, we have all been gouged once. She was up charged by $100 on the labor at least.
So many paved roads for a change. Good you went for different tyres this time. Happy days, Günter/Nürnberg
The first video I’ve watched in 2024, looks like a good omen ❤
The Further bus is still in a field between Eugene and Roseburg somewhere last time I saw it (a few years back heading through that area).
I hope you're still relaxing at home with friends and family and getting fully refreshed and excited for your next adventure! We wish you a Happy New Year with no problems involving Finance, Romance or Motorcycle Repair! Stay safe, Kinga!
God, Alaska is beautiful! It's just beautiful views around every single corner, you're so blessed to have ridden through there on those wide, empty roads! How wonderful!
I had the same tires for my Teneré. The bill for mounting in the Netherlands is € 435 tax included. Mounting and balancing was € 50. It are just expensive tires
Wonderful Miss Kinga, I am so sorry you were treated that way at another darley stealership. They have none of the integrity HD was built on anymore! They do not hire mechanics anymore, they just hire "technicians"! And they stubble on anything that isn't a darley or have a computer to tell them what is wrong. It is a shame! Fairbanks doesn't look like it changed much from being there in the 90s. The boys story is a tragic one! So many people think it's easy to just walk off the paved road and into an adventure in the wild, then the wilds in one way or another eats them that are ill prepared. I used to teach an Arctic Survival class and it never ceased to amaze me how many couch potatoes there were in America with no clue. I do hope the outrageous costs in Alaska doesn't tarnish your opinion of the "Land of the Midnight Sun", it is quite spectacular in any season. To Alaska's interior only the brave and strong survive and thrive, those are the people you want to meet! Wishing you a very Healthy Happy New Year Dear Lady! With Love and Respect, You are in my prayers Hoka Hey
That would be so cool to just run into you somewhere! Thank you for another swell video and great stories.
I saw the Harley Davidson sign. No wonder the price was so high.
Szczęśliwego Nowego Roku 👍👌Szerokości Przyczepności 🫡Tańszych serwisów🤣
Yet another amazing video from "On her bike ". I am still in a state of shock at the price of your tyres .Regards from Cape Town.
Interesting story about the bus Kinga, great episode. 💪🏼👌🏼👊🏼👍🏼🤩
wonderful sensitivity and respect with which you told the story of a young man who died 💙
I love new tires : ) Happy New Year
We will always support and defend this beautiful young
Great video thank you very well done as always new tires nice cheers to ya.
Love your adventures! I don't miss the US prices for labor! I guess I am cheap and I don't trust the mechanics here, so I mostly do all my own work.
Wow, the banks look fair and the bus look's like hell. Sweet B&B.
excelente video, como sempre . Feliz Ano Novo
these are great catch up videos. where are you at currently? I rode in Alaska for 9 years,so I recognize a summer video when I see one.
I like those tires!
It is very fun to travel with you through the small screen. I wish you pleasant and safe travels. I love you very much. I am from Iraq
Happy new year❤
Great to see that you put new tyres on, the ones you had were "a bit" worn out with all the travelling. Next port of call is to arrange a FULL service for Chillie, preferably not by a rip off Harley Davidson dealership
happy new year and new year 🥳 kinga

Love the hair 👍

Yes, me too OUTPOST ALASKA, how do you justify that cost ?
👍👍👍 soo coolll
Ale..laska Pięknie, Beautiful. jak zawsze ciekawie. (ha Razem zwiedzamy świat) LWG. :)
the bill to change plus the price of the tires.....do that a few times a year and a good start on a new bike. It is expensive in the remote areas...everything. stay safe
Hey Kings, happy New Year to you!!! Can I make a suggestion ? I've been watching you for some years now, and it struck me I would love to have a full length DVD to watch, probably a series of DVDs, Australia, The stans, Europe, Africa, etc. os this something your editor could do for you? I can't be the only.one who would buy them
Magic (AWESOME HAIR) 🥰
In the world price has gone up. Nice tires
Australia most adv tyres are between $600 and 700 a set

I paid $410 for a tire change not the tires 😬
I’m no expert, but been googling online prices for those Bridgestone At41 tires? Walmart and Amazon have them for nearly $200 a piece!
That bus is being restored by my friend Eric who is the head of the engineering department at UAF super cool guy in the summer he's commercial fisherman in SE Alaska
I decided to calculate the number of miles I travelled in a bus during elementary school and 10,000 miles doesn't seem like much now.
This is the first time I have seen you use the camera on the side of your helmet.
❤❤
Arai have the new xd4, it's called xd5 and it's better aerodynamic
Wow! $410 bucks for changing two tires...that's crazy! 🤢
Just curious, why not trails end bmw? Much better than hd! 🙏🏻
Nice tires! $150/hr is highway robbery, though.......literally!
hi kinga. // thanks. for. all. your. all. your. hard. work. 2023.......happy. new. year. 2024. be. safe. ////. JOHNNY
450 to change 2 tires? Thats one of biggest rippoff i ever heard. How much for the tires? Like 350 ?
👍👍🏍🏍👍👍
🌹💪🏍️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍🇸🇦❤️❤️
Terrible price for tyre changing. They have you by the short & curlys when in remote places. Plus no bookings and having to wait all day. Should have named and shamed.

oh my biker u so cute
👍👏💐🙋♂️
Yeah that’s highway robbery. Hopefully this video will bring light to their criminal service fees.
There are two groups of people with opinion on Christopher McCandless. Those who think he was a visionary and those who think he was a dumb F. I am in the second group. Shooting a bear with a .22 rim fire is not smart. The worst thing he could have traveled a couple of miles and there was a cable basket river crossing of the river. No I will eat unknown mushrooms and die.
They are freaking thieves i will not do business there!
Hi u r very beautifull😊
